After working the valley as a motor officer for 7 years I got to know my way around the city pretty well. I also learned that I could get from point "A" to point "B" and pass several 7-11 stores where I could refill and cool off. With this also came the curse that has become the well known new website dadquest.com which is similar to mapquest.com except you don't need a computer. I am just a phone call away. So let me explain...no time to explain, let me sum up. My two oldest, Rebecca and Tara cannot find their way out of a wet paper bag. Both Rebecca and Tara have now mastered getting lost while trying to get to or home from the Las Vegas Temple. They have each called me and said the words "I am at Cheyenne and I-95, am I close to home". I laugh and say, "Welcome to Reno". If you know the Las Vegas valley the Temple is on the far east side. Cheyenne and I-95 is on the far north end of the valley. The Jex house is on the far south end of the valley. Our house is two miles from any freeway and both Rebecca and Tara have managed to get lost and end up on the far north end of the valley while trying to find home. Where did I go wrong.

I'm just left hoping Rebecca can find her way to the hospital now. Maybe you better be with her for the next few days.
Hahahah! So funny!! But so true about Vegas.. It's easy to get lost! :)
Thank you Jen and Mindy..... Katie, I will not be driving to the hospital, George will. And he knows the way thank you very much!!! ;)
I can see how you can get lost in Las Vegas. It's flat, all cornfields with no major landmarks:)
